At Thanksgiving, you are working on the smoked turkey, the sides, the desserts, and the last thing you want is hungry relatives asking every 5 minutes, “How much longer until the turkey is finished?“
I try to plan well, but sometimes it just takes longer than it usually does for some reason, and if I can keep everyone happy with delicious smoked appetizers, it sure makes my job a lot more fun.
Most of these appetizers can be made ahead of time, and it will make your Thanksgiving as stress-free as possible.
These are a few of my favorites to serve before the TG meal, but if you want to peruse even more, here's all of my smoked appetizers.

No recipes! Kinda frustrating.
Not sure how I missed this, but it’s finally fixed. The recipes are now showing up as they should.

Wow, it’s been a while since I visited your site which I have always appreciated. It was so full of pop up and ads I couldn’t believe it. Come on, it’s one thing to mix in a few ads but this is way over done. I never did find the thanksgiving appetizer recipes I went to the site to see. This is really a disappointment for me and I bet for many others.
Surely there is some middle ground between paying an annual fee and being buried in ads.
Hit the nail on the head
